History

Bandhalgoti sept of Rajputs, claiming descent from Raja Sodh Dev, a scion of the Kachhwaha(Suryavansi) dynasty of Jaipur, who is said to have migrated from Narwargarh, conquered the Bhars of Amethi, and built a fort at Raipur.[2][5][4] The sixth in descent from him was Raja Mandhata Singh, who was childless; but with the aid of a saint's prayers a son was born to him, who was called Bandhu, in memory of the circumstances of his birth-whence the clan name of Bandhalgoti.[2][3][4]
